[Nakajima Reina didn't know why her eyes were always on Azukiyama. ]
[It is hard to tell whether looking far into the distance is her habit or interest. Almost everyone trapped in one place can't help but look around. And looking must have a target, a place to look. Apart from the garden she often goes to, the towering and conspicuous Xiaodou Mountain is the most suitable. ]
[She had unknowingly memorized the appearance of Xiaodou Mountain, just like she memorized the appearance of the garden. Sitting on the bed at night, she looked out the window into the dark night. Her eyes could only see the outline of Xiaodou Mountain, but her mind could see the whole picture of the mountain.]
[However, despite looking at the mountain so many times, she never had the fantasy of going to Xiaodou Mountain, so she was surprised when you suggested going to Xiaodou Mountain with her and setting off now.]
Memory scenes emerge.
The recreation room was as big as two wards. A black LCD TV was hung on the wall, and orange cloth sofas filled the room. The sofa in front of the TV was the longest, and the other sofas were placed next to the table or by the window. The window was a floor-to-ceiling window, with the upper half occupied by the blue sky and the lower half by the emerald green mountains.
Minami Yuki lay down on the sofa in front of the TV, resting his neck on the armrest of the sofa and stretching his body. Nakajima Reina sat on the other end of the sofa, looking around with an uneasy look, and after making sure that her behavior would not be seen by others and would not cause trouble to others, she followed Minami Yuki and lay down.
She lifted her feet, which were clad in thin white cotton socks, from her blue hospital slippers and placed them on the surface of the orange sofa.
She was not as relaxed as Nan Youxi in lying down. She curled up her legs and took a long time to stretch them out.
The pair of exceptionally quiet feet, with elegant curves and cute toes, stopped in front of Nan Youxi's feet.
Minami Youxi bent down and used her feet wearing black socks to flick the soles of Nakajima Reina's feet wrapped in white socks.
The snow rabbit-like feet were frightened and immediately crawled back into the cave. The girl bent her legs and looked at the boy with shyness and anger in her eyes.
The boy smiled without any guilt, and in that smile there was a hint of childish joy at having successfully bullied the girl.
He pushed himself up with his hands and exerted force on his waist, turning his body around on the sofa, upside down, and pushing off the armrest of the sofa, like a swimmer turning back in a swimming pool, sliding to the girl's feet.
"What are you doing!" Nakajima Reina was startled and quickly sat up, trying to put her feet close to the boy's head on the ground.
Her heart was filled with shame. Putting your feet next to someone else's head was so rude and annoying!
Nan Youxi grabbed the snow rabbit that jumped over his head, and the weak rabbit couldn't break free from his palm. A warm and tender touch came from his palm.
"Please let go." Nakajima Reina blushed, but her panic was not revealed on her face. Her scolding was not harsh or majestic, but contained a sense of elegance.
Nan Youxi let go of her feet, still with a smile on her face.
The girl put on her slippers, and the instep of her feet hidden inside the cloth shoes still felt the heat from the boy's palm. She felt embarrassed and annoyed.
She was inexperienced and her knowledge of relationships between men and women was limited to TV dramas and movies. She didn't know that every inch of her skin was a temptation. She thought the boy was deliberately teasing her.
"Let's go to Azukiyama, now."
Minami Yuki's suggestion was made so suddenly and surprised Nakajima Rena so much that the girl immediately forgot about her feet and forgot to blame the boy.
"That's outside the hospital!" She felt that this proposal could not be implemented.
"The hospital doesn't have electric fences, machine guns, or bunkers, so of course you can get out, right?"
"But… "
Nakajima Reina's mind was in a mess. She did care about Mt. Adoko, but she had never thought of going to that verdant mountain. The boy's abrupt proposal broke her pure idea of just viewing Mt. Adoko and made her hesitate, just like the time she went to the garden.
"Even though I haven't said it before, it's common sense not to run away when you're in the hospital!"
"I think that Reina-sama, who has always stayed in the Chigusa Palace and has never been exposed to society, is not qualified to say the word 'common sense'. Believe me, it is okay if she doesn't say it."
Reina Nakajima was not good at dealing with the pressure of language. In panic, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at Mount Azuki in the distance, hoping that the mountain could give her an answer.
"That's too far, and I can't climb such a high mountain." The girl felt depressed and looked at her blue slippers.
"Don't worry, there is a trail on that mountain. I've already checked it out and there's no problem pushing the wheelchair up there. It's cool today, but the temperature will rise tomorrow. Climbing the mountain will become a torture then. This is a unique opportunity." Nan Youxi got up from the sofa and extended her hand to the girl.
Nakajima Reina looked up at him, and the disappointment in her heart was diluted by the information in his words. She thought that the boy had actually inspected Azuki Mountain in advance, and choosing today was not a whim of the boy, but a well-thought-out decision.
She realized that behind this seemingly inappropriate invitation was the boy's deep affection.
Before she could feel happy, she immediately thought of where she was. This was not the Chikusa Palace as the boy had said, but the Chikusa Hospital. She was not a noble princess in the human world, but a dying person with a high reputation in the disease. Loss took over her heart again, and sadness followed.
"I don't want to see that mountain." She lowered her head and said this indifferently.
"I know." Nan Youxi grabbed her hand, "I want to take you there."
[Nakajima Reina rejected you again, and you stubbornly pulled her hand and asked her to leave. You borrowed a wheelchair on the first floor and ran out of the hospital with her secretly.]
[You and Nakajima Reina only felt that you were running away secretly, but the reality was the opposite. You took out a thin coat from your backpack, asked the girl to put it on, and walked out of the side door without hesitation. The security guard did not stop you and treated you as patients being discharged from the hospital.]
[You push Nakajima Reina onto the subway. The large number of passengers on the subway startled the girl. She had forgotten the last time she saw so many people gathered together.]
[You didn't take Nakajima Reina to Azukiyama, and the subway went in the opposite direction.]
[The girl asked you doubtfully, and you said you wanted to sell her. She smiled and said you were lying to her.]
[You took her to your apartment, took out the dress you asked Chishou Kazumi to help you choose, and handed it to her. The hospital gown was too conspicuous, and you were tired of seeing girls wearing long coats and long pants.]
[Reina Nakajima was not used to wearing a dress. She kept pressing the hem of her skirt with her hands. Compared with pants, the skirt was too cool.]
[She asked if she could change into pants, and you refused her rude request.]
[Putting the white sun hat on her head, you took her on the subway again. This time, you went to Xiaodoushan.]
[At first, the girl was flustered about running away from the hospital, but soon, the panic turned into joy. This rebellion she had never experienced before made her cheeks flush. If deceiving her father and wandering around the garden were minor matters, then escaping from the hospital was definitely a world-shaking event.]
[She looks at you who led her to do such a big thing.]
